Guys,
I'd like to get your advice on how to safely cut the top off of a box I want to make. The box will be about 13" long, 6" wide and 3" high. It will be made of 1/2" thick poplar.
I'd like to cut a 1/8" deep groove all the way around the top, then separate it from the bottom with a knife. I think it would be best to cut the 2 long sides first. But I am concerned that the 2 short sides are too short to safely cut the groove.
Any thoughts, references or experience that you can offer will help me stay safe.
I appreciate your help.
Fred
Edit: I could use the bandsaw for this but there's downsides to that too.
